Two Factor Authentication

Online Security – 2FA

Since we are all hearing about online security breaches on the news, it seems like more and more often I am coming across articles discussing Two Factor Authentication (2FA), so my curiosity got the best of me and I started reading about it.

Call it old-fashioned but we used to consider security to be having a username and a password. We are being told to not use simple passwords, mix in capital letters and punctuation to make them harder to guess. Now it’s being recommended that we go even further than that, and that’s where 2FA comes into the picture.
